AppleScript is pretty flexible, and so there are often multiple 
ways to accomplish something. Here is one:
tell application "TextWrangler"
     -- returns the number of lines in the active text document
     count of lines in text document 1
     -- moves the insertion point to the end of the document
     select the insertion point after the last character of text 
document 1
end tell

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they 
sedate me.
